Before walking into any boardroom, school district, or government office, these are the numbers that anchor every conversation. They are not estimates — they are documented research findings from CPP Global, Gallup, SHRM, and the EEOC.
Select a sector to see the five most painful conflict pressure points, the exact TMC solution for each, and the full ROI breakdown.
Employees operate at 40–60% capacity during unresolved conflict. Replacing a single employee costs 50%–200% of annual salary.
30% of manager time is consumed by interdepartmental conflict. Innovation stalls. Decisions are delayed.
C-suite conflict collapses strategy execution. Boards lose confidence. Employees disengage organization-wide.
Average defense cost: $75K–$175K per lawsuit. Fortune 500 firms spent $4.3M on litigation in 2024 alone.
2.8 hrs/week × 200 employees × $31/hr = $908K in paid hours wasted annually.
Adjust the sliders to match your organization. The calculator uses conservative, research-backed assumptions to estimate your current conflict cost and the return on a TMC engagement.
Based on: 2.8 hrs/week conflict time per employee, $3,600 absenteeism cost, and 100% salary replacement cost for conflict-driven turnover. Conservative 30% conflict reduction assumed.
Prospects ranked by conflict cost severity, TMC fit, and decision-making speed. Each row includes the exact entry point — who to call first.
A five-step framework built around your 10-for-10 resolution record and the financial data in this report. Follow it in sequence. Let the numbers do the work.
"What does conflict cost your organization right now — not just in dollars, but in time, talent, and trust?"
Most leaders have never been asked this question. It immediately positions TMC as a strategic partner, not a vendor. Let the silence work for you.
"Based on your size and industry, organizations like yours typically lose $[X] per year to unresolved conflict. Most of that is invisible — it shows up as turnover, absenteeism, and leadership time that never gets back to strategy."
Use the sector-specific ROI tables in this report to fill in the exact number before the meeting. Specificity creates credibility.
"I am a Certified Elite Mediator. I have resolved 10 out of 10 mediations — not by splitting the difference, but by getting to the root of what is actually driving the conflict. That is what I bring to your organization."
A perfect resolution record is rare. Say it plainly. Let it land. Do not undersell it.
"What I would recommend for an organization your size is [specific TMC program]. Here is exactly what that looks like and what you can expect to recover."
Never pitch a general service. Always name the specific framework — Conflict Stabilization System™, Leadership Dialogue Model™, Conflict Intelligence Architecture™ — and explain what it does.
"If we recover even 20% of your current conflict costs, the program pays for itself in the first 90 days. The question is not whether you can afford TMC — it is whether you can afford to keep losing [dollar amount] every year."
Close on their number, not yours. The investment in TMC becomes a rounding error compared to what they are already losing.
Conflict, managed with intelligence, becomes a catalyst for stronger institutions. TMC brings a Certified Elite Mediator with a 10-for-10 resolution record directly into your organization — and builds the systems that make conflict resilience permanent.
